Community Pediatric Asthma Service
Preparing for Your Appointment
Your first appointment with the Community Pediatric Asthma Service may be a telephone or virtual (Microsoft Teams) appointment before we ask you to attend a face-to-face appointment.
Before your appointment, we will send you an information package, either by mail or email, whichever you choose. If you did not receive this package, call us at 403-943-9139.
What is a Spirometry Test?
Spirometry is a test that measures how much air you can hold in your lungs
and how fast you can blow it out. It is a simple test and it doesn't hurt.
Watch this video to see what happens when you have a spirometry test.
